About Us

Not everyone needs support all the time, however, sometimes when people are having difficulties they find it can be useful to speak with someone who will not judge them and who will offer them some support during difficult times.

Newport Health & Wellbeing provides support and care to individuals, couples, children and families in our community. We are a group of experienced clinicians in the mental health and education field who have established a new multidisciplinary practice. We come from a variety of professional backgrounds including psychology, social work and family therapy.

Our service is committed to providing a confidential and safe environment, which ensures that all people are treated in a respectful, nurturing, and supportive manner.

To arrange an appointment with one of our clinicians, please contact them directly to arrange a time. If you would like to discuss your needs in more detail, please contact kristen@newportcounselling.com.au

Background

The Being Held program is a professional, clinically based program delivered by qualified therapists. The program offers many modalities; experiential learning, didactic teaching, video recordings of mothers and their babies and the opportunity for shared reflection. Women are asked to complete three clinical written assessments at the commencement of the group and are also invited to participate in a video recording of themselves and their infant at the start of the program. By the end of the program we can share early videos for discussion, debriefing and reflection.
